Urgent Call to Action | NDP Health Critic Peter Julian, Attempting To Ruin Bill C-368

You have fought hard to support Bill C-368 to protect natural health products. The NDP is attempting to ruin your work.

Here is why we need your urgent help:

1. in June 2023 Health Canada moved natural health products into the therapeutic product category in the Food and Drugs Act.  Now natural health companies and practitioners are subject to five million dollar a day fines and unreasonable Health Canada powers that are meant for dangerous chemical drugs and large pharmaceutical companies;
2. Canadians have banded together to reverse this.  MP Blaine Calkins introduced Bill C-368 to reverse the changes.  With massive support led by the NHPPA, Canadians created enough political pressure to get this Private Member’s Bill into the Committee Stage.  This is almost unheard of;
3. on November 21, 2024, NDP Health Critic Peter Julian introduced an amendment to Bill C-368 which will make the Bill meaningless.  If the amendment is passed, NHPs will still be subject to the powers and penalties that will be used to destroy natural health companies and practitioners.  This is part of Health Canada’s Self-Care-Framework which is designed to take away our natural health products;
4. we need to urgently stop this amendment.  We need you to put pressure on MP Peter Julian and every NDP Member of Parliament so that the NDP party backs down and supports Bill C-368 without any changes;
5. we need you to put pressure on every member of the Standing Committee on Health to reject the amendment.
